Claiming to have never heard Ella Langley's record-setting country song 'Choosin' Texas' is similar to saying, 'I listen to anything but country.'

So irresponsible of him to do this at a time when we’ve demonized / criminalized the most effective class of rx pain management to such an extent that people with chronic pain are left to either suffer or figure out their own solutions. Botanical kratom fills that gap for many ppl.

This John Oliver piece is remarkably reductive--and regressive--for someone who is otherwise fairly reliable on the stuff that matters. Reducing botanical kratom to a dangerous "gas station drug" because 7OH exists is 1:1 like criminalizing marijuana because K2 & other synthetic THC products exist

Beyond the painfully obvious reply to this nonsense that "this is exactly what you voted for," Trump voters should if anything be upset that ICE has come nowhere near his explicit campaign promise to deport *one million people per year* abcnews.com/Politics/jd-...

It is galling for the district courts to manage discovery, assembling thorough and typically huge records in coming to their decisions, and some justices treat it as "meh, I saw something different on Fox News."

The 9/11 Commission report obscured more than it illuminated. The country took the wrong lessons from the attack. Instead of reevaluating US Middle East policy and alliances, the US government built a war machine and domestic surveillance apparatus that still haunts us today.

I have seen too much of this system to wish detention/deportation on anyone. Someone like this has absolutely earned it by supporting ICE & mass deportation like he has, but his account is remarkably consistent with what everyone has ever told me about the brutality of deportation. I give him that.

I am now even more certain that Milo Yiannopolous never had a greencard than I was. The texts obtained from divorce records by It Could Happen Here confirm to me that an initial application was abandoned when his husband refused to support it, and then MY tried to pay him to "restart" the process

More broadly, DHS claims it detained roughly 50,000 people last month, on par with July, which was the highest single monthly arrest total during Trump's second term. Last summer, protests exploded due to the public and brazen nature of these raids. But raids are still happening nationwide.

Just watched Milo Yiannopolous's interview with Piers Morgan so that you don't have to. First impression: this is surprisingly sincere. MAGA needs to see a white man in a suit describing his detention/deportation as traumatic torture & mental degradation, bc they won't hear it from anyone else
